CimatronE 5-Axis Production
|Product Overview
Cimatron's
dedicated software for 5-Axis Production gives experts productive tools
they need to create highly-efficient, gouge-free toolpaths that produce
complex parts with high surface quality.
CimatronE NC 5-Axis Production allows for the accurate production of
complex shapes, and is used in advanced manufacturing fields for the
production of impellers and turbine blades, ports and inlets, cutting
tools, rubber molds, patterns and models.
| Product Highlights
- Complete solution for any 5-axis NC application
- Rich set of 5-axis roughing and finishing strategies
- Prevents tool and holder collision with part, stock and machine
- Advanced material removal and machine simulations
- Rich Strategy library – includes a large library of machining
strategies, supports a full range of cutters - including taper,
lollipop and slot mill
- CAD Tools - includes a robust set of surface creation and editing tools
| Key Benefits
- Gives experts productive tools they need to create
highly-efficient, gouge-free toolpaths that produce complex parts with
high surface quality
- Enables 5-Axis NC manufacturers to gain greater efficiency and achieve shorter delivery time
- Full user control over automation - lets NC programmers control and
re-use every aspect of machining, including: Path shape, Tool
orientation, Entries and exits, Clearance, Links, Connection motions
and Machine limitations
- Intuitive working environment
| Features
- A rich strategy library –
- 5-axis rough cutting - spiral, parallel, plunge milling
- 5-axis finish cutting - parallel, flow-line, penciling, morph between contours and surfaces
- Consideration of actual remaining stock to reduce air cutting
- 5-axis tilting –machine deep cavities with short tools
- 5-axis contour milling and drilling
- 5-axis micro milling for miniature electronic and medical parts
- CAD Tools – includes a robust set of surface creation and editing
tools, enabling the user to rapidly prepare geometry for more optimized
machining with no need to transfer data between CAD and CAM systems.
- Highly-versatile collision avoidance functionality built-in that
allows checking for collision of tool, shank and multi-stage holder
against the part, stock, fixtures and the machine - generating safe and
smooth tool motions, and featuring:
- User-defined safety margins from stock and fixtures
- Removal of problematic motions
- Retraction of tool along tool-axis or in any direction
- Smooth changing of tool orientation (tilt/lead) to prevent collision
- Advanced simulation module that enables:
- Material removal simulation
- Remaining stock simulation
- Machine kinematics simulation including collision detection
